Police Treat Bellbird Park Death as Homicide, Identify Victim as Katherine Sanowski

Detectives say her body may have lain inside the home for about two weeks.

Overview

  • The 42-year-old Springfield woman was found dead inside a Beryl Court house on February 19 after reports of a street disturbance.
  • A 34-year-old Bellbird Park man was located nearby and taken to hospital for medical assessment, and he has not yet been interviewed or arrested.
  • A postmortem revealed suspicious elements that led police to open a homicide investigation.
  • Investigators said Sanowski did not live at the address but was known to the occupant, and they currently do not believe others were involved.
  • Police appealed for witnesses and relevant CCTV or dashcam from early February, as neighbours earlier reported a man pacing near the property for days.
